by Brian Gan |
Having suitable sizes for images are important for downloading and viewing purpose which is normally measured by pixels in width (W) x height (H). From the photos that are captured with digital camera or pictures that are scanned from printed materials, the first important thing is to resize them first before exporting to suitable formats such as JPEG.
